0001]The present disclosure relates to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV),
and more specifically, to a system and method for aligning an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a dustbin.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in
understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the
information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed
invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Waste container is a container for temporarily storing waste, and
is usually made out of metal or plastic. Some common terms are dustbin, garbage can, and trash can. Waste containers are provided in various public and private locations for the purpose of providing a convenient place to deposit waste for collection and temporary storage. Such containers must have an opening through which the waste can be deposited. This opening is often equipped with a lid to keep the waste enclosed within the container and to prevent unpleasant odors, generally associated with waste, from escaping. The lid also limits viewing of the unsightly contents of the waste container.
[0004] Solid waste management in the city is a tedious task for the
municipality. So, the inclusion of UAVs in this task leads to annihilation of labour and preserves a fuel spent while collecting garbage from door to door. One of the main difficulties with such lids is that users must physically contact the lid to gain access to the container and deposit the waste. Often a user's hands are full with the waste to be deposited, or other items, leaving no easy means by which to open and close the lid. In other situations, the lid itself becomes contaminated with waste and the user does not wish to touch the lid in order to open it. However, there is no system and device available that automatically assist in opening and closing the lid of the dustbin. Further, in an automatic waste

management system there is no system and method that assists to align an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a dustbin. Furthermore, there is a no system and method that available in market that automatically dumps the garbage into the dustbin without bothering about its disposal.
[0005] Therefore, there exists a need of an efficient, effective and
improved system and method for aligning an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
with a dustbin. Further, there is a need of system and method that automatically
dumps the garbage into the dustbin without bothering about its disposal.

[0061] FIG. 5 illustrates an exemplary proposed system, in accordance
with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
30 [0062] In another embodiment, the drone 202 moving in an air can detect
the magnetic strip 206 located at the top of the dustbin handle 208 through the Hall Effect sensor 502. After detection of the magnetic strip 206, the drone 202
13

can land over the magnetic strip 206which is placed at the handle of bucket 208.

Fingers of the claws can grip the handle only if they don’t touch the handle. To sense its touch, piezoelectric 5 sensors 504 can be planted the finger tips. When the drone 202 touches the magnetic strip 206, piezoelectric sensors 504 can sense it and then two cases may appear.
First case: Fingers of the Claws of drone does not touch the handle of dustbin In this case, the claws of drone will grip the handle and lift it up.
10 Second case: Fingers of Claws of drone touches the handle of dustbin. In this case, claws of drone can be rotated by 900. After rotation, it will grip the handle and lift it up.
[0063] FIG. 6 illustrates an exemplary proposed drone, in accordance
with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
15 [0064] In another embodiment, each claw 210 of the drone 202 can have
two fingers 602 which are in open position initially. During landing of the drone
on the bucket handle, if the two fingers 602 of the claw 210 touch the bucket
handle, then claw cannot grip.
[0065] In an exemplary embodiment, the Hall Effect sensor 502 can sense
20 the highest magnetic field intensity and opens its jaws to uplift the dustbin.
[0066] In another exemplary embodiment, Hall Effect sensor 502 can be
used to measure the magnitude of a magnetic field. Its output voltage is directly proportional to the magnetic field strength through it. Hall Effect sensors are used for proximity sensing, positioning, speed detection, and current sensing
25 applications. Frequently, a Hall sensor is combined with threshold detection so that it acts as and is called a switch. Commonly seen in industrial applications such as the pictured pneumatic cylinder, they are also used in consumer equipment; for example some computer printers use them to detect missing paper and open covers. They can also be used in computer keyboards, an application
30 that requires ultra-high reliability.
[0067] In an embodiment, for household consumers smaller commercial
users, the trash cans with permanent lid may offer a terrific combination of
14

strength, lightweight durability, and security in a rolling, one-piece unit that may

[0070] According to another embodiment the garbage of waste is a dry
waste, wet waste.
[0071] In another preferred embodiment the dustbin is used in running
15 trains for efficient waste management and thereby maintains cleanliness and hygiene.
[0072] As used herein throughout, the term magnetic material may refer
to any of a wide variety of magnetic and/or magnetizable materials. Such materials may include conventional magnets which may be magnetically
20 attractive to certain non-magnetized metallic materials such as steel, metalized foils and the like.
[0073] In another preferred aspect, the magnetic materials may be
materials which are magnetizable so as to be magnetically attracted to one another.
25 [0074] More specifically, in the present invention, the magnetic material
may include any materials having magnetic and/or magnetizable properties, including but not limited to, ferromagnetic materials which may include magnetic or magnetizable elements such as ferrite members which are placed, incorporated, deposited, suspended, embedded or otherwise carried by a binding
30 material or carrier. The carrier permits placement of the magnetic material on the package. The ferrite material may be arranged to have mobility within the carrier for magnetizable purposes.
15

[0075] As noted above, in one preferred embodiment, the magnetic
material may include ferrite material arranged in a binder or carrier for mobility within the carrier for magnetizable purposes. Also, it is contemplated that the magnetic material may be placed on the package substrate such that the ferrites 5 are aligned in the carrier and which is subsequently more fully magnetized on the substrate.
[0076] In addition, while the magnetic field strength of the magnetic
strips in the closed condition should be sufficient to maintain adequate closure, the magnetic field strength at a distance therefrom should rapidly dissipate.
10 [0077] Moreover, it is contemplated that the magnetic material described
above, in addition to adhering to the substrate, may it also provide resealable adhesive properties so that to the applied magnetics material serves both as a weak adhesive closure and a magnetic closure. It is contemplated that in either situation the combination of the adhesive closure and the magnetic closure
15 provides the desirable re-openable closability of the package of the present invention.
[0078] Other placements and locations of the magnetic materials and/or
magnetic adhesives are contemplated by the present invention such that the adhesives used to form the package housing can also be used to provide the
20 magnetic closure.
[0079] It may be appreciated that, the size of the dustbins may be
appropriately designed to be accommodated in the space available. In a still preferred embodiment a plurality of bins may be used wherein different types of wastes are disposed, the detection and communication of waste situation remains
25 same without any limitations. Such wastes may be like dry waste, wet waste.
